Hi Nancy, my name is Eric Sandoval, and I really liked what you did in Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story. I tried to find an agent or manager on imdb pro, but there was nothing. I've created a television crime drama with a character that I wrote specifically for you. The series is based on an actual period of my life 10 years ago, and is unlike anything that has ever been on television before. Do you have an assistant, agent, or manager that would be willing to read the two-episode pilot screenplay? I truly believe that you could bring a performance that would make Mary Lee the most unforgettable crime boss the world will have ever seen! At any rate, I added my website to this comment post. If you'd be willing to take a moment to look at my site, you'll see the amount of work and development that was put into this project. You're a tremendous performer, and I thank you for your time.

Nancy, My wife and I attended "To Whom it May Concern" Saturday night. We wanted to personally say ��лɹ for sharing your story - but the crowds got in the way way. We'll never be able to tell how much the telling of the story was helpful for you - but we know it will be helpful for many of us as we face the choices in our lives. We hope it will be available on DVD someday soon - we'd like to show our daughters someday. Beyond the lessons, it was wonderful to get to know you a little - and see all the snipets of old Hong Kong! Mike Trainor & Aleana Yiu

I was the camera assistant on "Rebellious" and I am so grateful to have met Bernie. He told me a great story that I use to keep things in perspective when I'm feeling frustrated. A story about a dog and a mirror. He also helped me buy my first motorcycle. I barely new him but really liked him. I can only imagine how he must be missed by those who knew him.

Well, where to begin Nancy! Since the very first time I saw you I realized you were very unique, I think it was the mid 1970's and I saw you in the Wrecking Crew. Since then I have adoringly watched as many of your movies as I have been able to. Now it is so many years later and I still know realize what a special lady you are. I am only partially oriental, however you set the standard for me in what the perfect woman should be like. When I was a child you were this pretty older woman... and alas now when I see you on the screen you are this very pretty young woman! You signify absolute perfection to me, and 35 years later I still feel you are the most beautiful woman on the face of the earth! I only wish I was old enough to have dated you. Love you Nancy!!

Dear Ms. Kwan, It is truly an honor to corresponde with one of my favorite actresses of all time. I first saw "The World of Susie Wong" shortly after its release in 1960. I must admit that as a starry-eyed young man I was captivated by your charm and beauty. I have also seen many of your other films and believe you are one of the most beautiful actresses to have graced the big screen. Your performance in both "The World of Susie Wong" and "Flower Drum Song" were truly outstanding. In 1963 I had an opportunity to visit Hong Kong on two occasions and I fell in love with this most beautiful and exotic city. Just recently I visited China for three weeks and had an opportunity to visit Hong Kong for the first time in 46 years. WOW, what changes have occurred to this beautiful city in 46 years. Although it is much more modern than in 1963, it is no less charming and remains one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I wish you well in your career and thank you for the wonderful gift of your talent that you have shared with your many fans throughout the years. I hope to see you again soon on TV or in the movies. I remain a loyal fan forever. James Smith

I saw the Robin Crusoe movie when I was about 12 years old, and immediately fell in love with Nancy Kwan. Later, I saw Flower Drum Song on TV, and was completely enthralled. I often thought, "Why can't I grow up right now and marry her?" I decided a long time ago, that if I had to live in a world where all the women looked exactly the same, I would want them to look like Nancy Kwan. She is my ideal of feminine beauty, to whom I compare all others. That's pretty funny, in a way; because I married a blue-eyed blonde, whom I simply adore. But growing up, Nancy Kwan was always my dream girl. Not only was she the most beautiful actress ever, but she was also very talented. I always enjoyed her performances. I haven't heard much about her lately. I hope she is doing well. Nancy, if you read this, thanks for some great memories, and God bless you.

In regards to her TV show "The Gallery of Madame Liu-Tsong", the may be one way recover it; during the 1950's and 1960's, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand were buying every American film and tv property they find---and Anna May Wong was very popular in the U.K. Perhaps there are copies at BBS or Southern Star?

I was "introduced" to Nancy Kwan via my favorite NK film as a young teenager, and totally enjoyed it. Only recently have I even seen another of her films (Flower Drum Song), and am trying to find Suzie Wong, since I want to see how she does in various other films. I was highly impressed by the fact of her shyness � an adorable trait that made her so endearing � which was shown when she appeared on What's My Line". The only other time I saw her, short of sticking my DVD or Robin Crusoe in the DVD player, was as a guest on a cooking show, where I learned she has quite the expertise in the field. It'd be great to meet her someday.

The World of Suzie Wong changed my life. I first saw it in 1961, 16 years old,and it started a dream inside of me of someday going to the far east. A dream later fulfilled - not to Hong Kong - but to Bali. You are so adoreable, and the most rythmic dancer I have ever seen , and such a naturel talented actress too. I did not see Suzie Wong again untill it came out on DVD, and now I watch it very often on the wall in my livingroom, since I have a LCD projector. That movie has some magic. It heals my heart when I am sad, and it gave me hope being sick from cancer. Ms Kwan, I love you dearly and you will always be in my heart.

I was born in 1962 and my mum saw your film when I was a child and she told be all about it as I was growing up and gave me the book. I never saw it till years later when it came on TV and when I did I was so in love with it. It made me want to work in film and today I am a script supervisor and have actually worked with Angela Allen who was the continuity on Suzie Wong! I tell the story of the film to all my friends and they all go and get the dvd as I make them fall in love with it to. Well just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart as this film has helped me through many bad times when I've been dumped or been away working and felt alone. More recently I had ovarian cancer and all my mates and me had a Suzie Wong night watching the film and it really cheered me up God bless you and who knows maybe one day I will be the continuity girl on a film you star in!! xx Laura

I'm biased- I like SW because of Nancy Kwan and Mr. Holden. Right now I am watching the PBS special "Chinese Hollywood". Growing up in the early '60's in Glendale, CA it was part of my landscape to be in L.A.'s Chinatown monthly- our dentist was there and we had a family ritual of dinner. Chinese Americans have been part of life for this boring caucasian and are, in my mind a major part of the country. I am thrilled that progress has been made for all people but pardon me if I like to see each culture's mystique- but I will always reserve a special place for my earliest exposure and embrace that a bit more- Ms. Kwan, you've been part of life and I thank you- please be here for a long, long time, OK?

I am looking forward to seeing clips of all the Chinese actors and actresses who made their mark in Hollywood.

Mr Holden sure was a very lucky man indeed, anyway won't bore you to tease with all the fan mail stuff. I saw your documentary on Ann May Wong last summer in National Portrait Gallery(London). I was truly touched & felt very proud to be a Chinese aboard for once. I am a photographer by trade & hope one day my work will leave a little mark behind like all of you do.

I was all set to watch some Netflix movie last night when I realized that it was May 19th...Nancy Kwan's birthday. My main gal! And not just any birthday, but her 70th birthday! To celebrate this august occasion (I have said for years that we should not have to work on Nancy Kwan's birthday, but no employer listens to me!), I selected a video starring Nancy from the three I have at home that I haven't seen yet. In years past, I have celebrated Kwan's birthday with such eBay-purchased videos as "The Night Creature," "The Deadly and the Beautiful," "Walking the Edge" and "The Corrupt Ones." That left me with either "The McMasters," "Night Children" or "Project: Kill" to watch last night, and I decided on the latter one. And "Project: Kill" (1976) turned out to be not altogether bad indeed. In it, Leslie Nielsen stars as the head of a top-secret government department that trains men to be superkillers. This is achieved through the use of drugs and regular physical training. When Leslie realizes that his men are nothing more than government hitmen, not the defensive force he had envisioned, he tries to quit, and his second in command, played by Gary Lockwood, is sent to reel him in. Leslie does not have an easy time in dropping out of his former organization. He flees to the Philippines (this IS a U.S./Phillipines coproduction) and is pursued not only by Lockwood, but by Filipino thugs (led by the always dependable Vic Diaz) who want to kidnap him and torture him for the information in his head. His plight is made more difficult by the fact that he is coming off of the drugs that he has been injecting for years to turn him into a superman. While on the run, he meets a beautiful (and I DO mean gorgeous) Chinese woman, and so we finally get to see our Nancy, a full 40 minutes into the picture. For some odd reason, she falls in love with this mysterious, sweaty tough guy, and helps him with his withdrawal. It all culminates with a free-for-all on the docks of Manila, with the Filipino thugs and the cops shooting it out and lobbing hand grenades and with Lockwood and Nielsen engaging in a martial arts battle to the death. The two actors must push their thespian abilities to the limit to convince the audience that they really are lean mean fighting machines, and somehow DO carry it off, while Nancy stands on the sidelines and looks worried. In all, not a bad time killer, and certainly not the worst Nancy movie I have seen over the years. The video print that I have of this film looks terrible in the first 10 minutes (so much snow that it looks like the city of Manila is having a blizzard!), but gets much better looking as it proceeds. Anyway, happy birthday to Nancy Kwan, and long may "Hong Kong's Gift to Hollywood" reign!

Hello, Nancy! Right now, I am reading Richard Mason's book "The World of Suzy Wong". Though I haven't seen your famous movie I still want to see it on DVD. When I went to Hong Kong almost 19 years ago, the tour guide said "This is the famous place of Suzie Wong." It stuck in my head and thanks to the internet, I am able to find out more about the mythical, elusive Suzie Wong. You have been blessed with such beauty so as to give a face to the character. And it is an honor to be writing here in your page. God bless you always, Nancy!

It's amazing to see someone of your stature who has attained success at an early age and carry it with such aplomb. I think success certainly gives you a different perspective to view the world in a different light, no? However did you ever keep from being jaded or put off by people after your breakout role? I viewed your editorial disclaimer: "I am not Suzie Wong." I'm aghast that almost 50 years later you are still explaining a character role versus a personality to the public. You know, I know nothing about you personally other than the snippets of info I've gleaned here and there but from your bearing it would seem that you might write a book on time management or self-improvement. I guess I am saying that I admire your success and sense of industry. And if you ever market vitamins, I'm buyin' some. The moss has't gathered on you yet!

I saw your movie when it came out and I was just a couple of years younger than you were at the time. It changed my life. I'm married to a Nanjingren who is a med school professor at UCLA and it's because you stirred something in me that was inexplicable. I lived in Syracuse New York where the closest Chinese food was in Gannonoque Canada. I would have grabbed a freight train and gone to find you if I hadn't inherited some rationality. Next week I head for Beijing and on to Nanjing. I've been taking many classes in Hanzi. I don't think any of these things would have happened without what happened to me that day when you walked onto the screen. I would have killed to be William Holden. It wasn't just your beauty, you had something inexplicable that shone from inside you that captured what the best Chinese women have, something I've never seen in a Lao Wai. Thanks for listening, Rich Turner

I e-mailed Nancy several times asking for an autograph and no replay! I don�t think she ever looks at this site and If she does never replays to e-mails. Not a good way to keep fans ! All I did get was lots of spam . I am very disappointed with her.

Dear Nancy: The last time you & I spoke was in 1990. At that time, I sent you a copy of my Company's Film Project, and told you that I was writing & casting the movie "The Tyrant". It took this long to finally raise the financing for the Film! Anyhow, I recent tried to contact you at American Film Distributors, but the telephone number was no longer listed. When you have time, please feel free to contact me at either (415) 418-0557 or (415) 293-8244. I hope to hear from youMs. Kwan!

Dear Nancy, I wrote to you in July of 2006, regarding Bernie. I was hoping at that time, and even now, that you might tell me more. Something. Anything, really. I still feel confused about the last time I talked on the phone with him. It haunts me. Even so, I continue to imagine Bernie will just walk into the room and say hello after all these years -- with that beautiful smile of his. Often, when I encounter difficult situations, I imagine what Bernie would say. For many years I hoped that some film or other project would bring him back to NC Perhaps I'd hear from him and he'd be able to stop to visit and meet my family. That's what I hoped for, the last time we spoke. When I inquired, two years ago, I heard back from Bernie's friend Chris, but he was very busy and never replied again. If it would have been any comfort at all to your son, I would have walked across the country to see him -- just to be there and let him know how much I care -- if I had known. My nine year old daughter was asking me this morning about "Rebellious" on the DVD shelf, and I found that I couldn't explain this to her without tears. And, coincidentally -- if you believe in that - I am drawn back here, to your website, once again, two years later, again in the month of July. I have no explanation for why I feel so compelled to communicate. I am left wondering this: if there was one thing I might do today (reading a book, visiting a place, making a donation) to honor the memory of Bernie and to bring myself closer to him (besides reading the Tao Te Ching) what that might be? Perhaps I need to mention this, too. I'm sure you're familiar with the The Butterfly Lovers concerto? I know I spoke with Bernie (so long ago) about the beautiful ballet that was choreographed to that piece of music at the NC School of the Arts in the '80s. I am drawn, once again, to that music which I worked with, and I'll soon be playing it for listeners at the classical station where I work. Perhaps you have some important thoughts to share on this? If my remembering Bernie, for whatever reason, brings you any sadness or pain, I truly apologize. And I thank you again for the light that your wonderful son brought into my life. Sincerely, Terry

I was sifting through some very old phtographs of my Kingsmoor school days and found a number of photos of Nancy with my friends Eric Chow and Barry Ibbotson (on whom Nancy had a teenage crush). The photos show a beautiful smiling happy girl and one that was destined for ultimate stardom.I have managed to see a number of her films and claim my 15 seconds of fame by announcing "I went to school with her"to anyone that would listen. She was a shininglight and can still see that impish grin. I wish her well. Michael Peace Kingmoor School from 1953 until closure.

Had to add a comment on "The World of Suzie Wong". My wife (who speaks fluent Cantonese) and I consider it one of our favorite films. The chemistry between Suzie and Robert Lomax is electric! We also appreciated the fact that it was one of the first American films to actually cast all Asian actors in the Asian roles. We were a little disappointed that the DVD has no "making of" or commentary track, although on the commentary track for "Flower Drum Song" there is some discussion on the backstory of 'Suzie Wong'. But the film transfer is beautiful. "The World of Suzie Wong" is a charming, delightful film and Nancy Kwan has every reason to be proud of her work in it. She totally inhabits the role and is wonderful to watch. She is Suzie.

I am glad you are still living and still beautiful. I fell in love with you watching both of those classic movies from '60 and '61 as a 9 or 10 year old boy growing up in Ohio. Thanks for the memories Nancy. I know you are loved by many and are as classy as any. Thanks for being you!!! A big fan, Robert S. Mundorff

Dear Ms. Kwan, I have been a TV Editor for about 20 years and I saw "The World of Suzie Wong" a number of years ago and remembered the movie very well. Recently, this week in fact "The World of Suzie Wong" was playing on TCM. The movie was more beautiful than I ever remembered. The character you play is very beautiful on the inside and out. Also she�s very funny with out even trying. Movies can mean different things to you at different times in your life I guess. In the past I have met a lot of people in this business and from what I read it would have been nice to have met you. You seem like a delightful person and I am sure you have a lot of funny store to tell. All the best, Jay Evans

Like a lot of American men of my generation, I was absolutely floored by my first sight of Nancy Kwan in that yellow cheong-sam. Dear lord, what prodigious beauty!It left me with a powerful attraction to spectacular asian women that has frankly never equalled the sheer voltage produced by my initial on-screen sighting of the exotic, erotic and utterly peerless Suzie Wong. Do the masculine half of humanity a big favor, Nancy, and live forever!

Hello there Miss. Kwan. I just saw your film..."The World of Suzie Wong" and I was amazed by both your beauty as well as your portrail of the life of a young woman in the orient who was very special and wanted more out of her life than the hand of fate had delt to her. Her honesty and heart of gold was as touching as it was delicate and memorable. What a warm and rare feeling that is. I have seen you before, in films such as "The Bruce Lee Story" and I wondered to myself just who this awesome beauty really was. I have also seen you as the spokes-woman for several beauty products as well......and may I say; that you do seem to come from an entirely ageless stock!! I major in Biology Miss. Kwan; I know genetics here quite well......and it dosen't take a PhD. to tell you that Asian women do seem to have the fountain of youth contained within their make-up; and let me tell you that you certainly do not disappoint!!! Your beauty is in a class all it's own. I am impressed; to say the least. Thank you for the most intresting and emotionally deep preformances that you have given us in the past as well as today! If the title of this web-site is an actual fact; then Hong-Kong's loss is most certainly America's very rich gain!!! Love, John

You are my favorite oriental actress and I have seen you in several movies and TV shows. First seeing "The World of Suzie Wong" in the theater at Pearl Harbor as an 18 yr. old sailor, helped to instill a fascination and love of the oriental culture in my life. Though never making a West Pac cruise during my naval enlistment, the desire to see the Orient always stayed with me. Finally, in 1985, my employer sent me to Korea on a project and I was to spend approximately 60% of the next 20 yrs. in and about Asia. I have the utmost respect for the people and cultures of the counties I've been fortunate to have visited and lived in. I am also fortunate to have a Chinese-Thai wife. Thank you so much for your work and what you gave the public. And, thank you for what you did to an eighteen year old sailor!

Hello Nancy, for my generation you were our image of the beautiful, powerful, asian, woman, (Flower Drum Song) no one could have done "I enjoy being a girl" better, it is one of the great moments in American cinema. I know you are a fine actress, (the world of suzie wong) and over the years have viewed your performances on film and with your documentary (narration) about Ana Mae Wong, I revelled in hearing and seeing you again. As a woman you are one of my icon's ( I am 56) I think you are so talented, and always wanted to see you in more roles on television, and the films. What a delight in The Bruce Lee story, when you popped up as the Restuarant owner, it was like seeing an old dear friend and you took over the screen as usual, you were perfect, "dishwasha" that distinctive line from the film, you both made me laugh and made the serious point all at once, it was a pivotal scene and of course you raised the bar... nevertheless, so glad this site exists to tell you, that we can never see enough of you and your productions and your acting. So now I am looking back through the IMDB, for all your films and doing my own little film festival, and catch up on what you will be performing/producing in next. You look great, love that you are a producer as well, you must have directed, oh, I am so out of the loop, so much to review...I could sing your praises but it would just be the tip of the iceberg your talent is, but I will come back later...as a woman, from the 60's and 70's you are emblazoned as one of the pioneers, the one the only Nancy Kwan, you just light up the screen. ( it is so hard to pick one film in the list above) you were breaking out of the usual roles, the audience could tell there was more in there, more to be said, and you surpassed it, I chose flower drum for favorite film, but I have to catch up so that may change. I so enjoyed flower drum, because I discovered you and because you just stole it, you were everything that is alive, full of energy, young, sexy, powerful, woman, wow, I wanted to be you...I could go on and on, but mostly, you have always brought it, I knew I would get my entertainments' worth if you were involved in the film. It is so good to see you doing so well, and being appreciated all over again... Take Care, Patricia Chappell

Whenever he returned, we would catch up on what we both were doing. I always bought crack seeds for him to bring back to you. He had once told me how much you enjoyed them. Last night I saw you on a Hawaii talk show about Diamond Head Theater's Flower Drum Song, which I will be going to tonight. I thought I'd try to look up how I could get in touch with Bernie again. I was so shocked to find out he was gone. Of course, it has been many years since we communicated .... he will always hold a special place in my heart!

Like a favorite fairy tale that lingers in the mind, the World of Suzie Wong caught the imagination of film enthusiasts a long time ago and has never let go. Not only a touching story, very much like "Sayonara", it gave us Nancy Kwan at her most delectable, in the role for which I suppose she is best known. Nancy was then an Asian version of Natalie Wood, just adorable. There've been many turns of the road since then, and tragedy, but she remains in our hearts as "Suzie".

Dear Mrs Kwan. My Name is Tommy Salvato..I only met you once..Your son was my best friend at University High. When I first met Bernie he was scaling the wall of the art class we had together, The wall was tight stone with relatively no play to get a grip on yet Bernie was at the top where the wall meets the ceiling in no time. I used to come over to your house in Westwood and Bernie and I would practice kung fu. I always remembered Bernie showing me buckets filled with sand which he would plunge his fingers into to make the callous build on his fingertips. We would practice in your court yard "full contact" Bernie had a wicked speed that always took me off guard.Many times I was on the ground and Bernie was helping me back up for more punishment.I had a roundhouse he used to love to watch. Bernie and I stayed in contact as much as possible..I always checked up on him in trade papers since we both pursued careers similar in entertainment. Bernie was a close friend of mine in a very important time of my life. We used to sit at lunch and talk and he always was a good ear when I told him about how indecisive I was while growing up not knowing what to do with my life. He had chosen to be a stunt man but I was fixed on trying to be a rock star which had no concrete foundation in reality..but Bernie always told me to" stay focused and I would rise above the rest". Your Son was my best friend in a split second of time. We both were outcasts in a wierd way because we saw the hypocrisy of High School life. Bernie had enough credits to graduate in the first month of the 12th grade but he rode out the year of 12 for the fun of it he said. I watched him through Streets of fire..and Wayne's World I met him a couple times when I was pursuing a career as a background painter for sound stages..Hollywood is a fishbowl and I always knew that eventually Bernie and I would connect back up and start our Martial arts again.or just sit around and talk smack about how many fools are in this world.I met you very briefly when Bernie introduced us when I came over one day..He had all these spears with red tassels behind his bedroom door it was Bernie who told me the history of the tassel on the spear to confuse an opponent to where the spear head was...I left after he fed me lunch and I never saw you again. It's been 15 years and the Internet,,I was watching an old re-run of the first Mission impossible where Tom Cruise was scaling a mountain and I jumped up to find my old friend on Google search and contact him and tell him I missed him and was thinking of him. I ran into snags because my old friend didn't have a myspace which I was sure he would have had he was a charismatic celebrity who would have used the site to network his star to huge greatness..I kept looking and couldn't understand why the only Bernie Pock kept coming up passed away...I kept looking then found an article,, I stopped. I loved Bernie as a friend I could always call or write or bump into and we would have been right back in your courtyard practicing martial arts and laughing ....I'm sorry......Your Son meant a lot to me as a friend. I only met you once...But your Son changed my life.at one point in time,,for a split second,,he was my best friend.. Tommy Salvato

Dear Nancy, I can't believe that I'm leaving a comment for you! A star from one of my favorite musicals!I recorded The Flower Drum Song off Turner Classic Movies. I've watched it at least 8 times. The songs are catchy. Fan Tan Fanny is one of my favorites. I go around singing it to myself. I want to tell you how much I enjoy watching The Flower Drum Song.-Melony

Dear Nancy, I see a small resemblence to Lucy Liu, who is lovely, but not so beautiful as you. You struck a chord in all of us when you played the role for which we all remember you... Suzie Wong. That character appealed to us on many levels, not just because of your physical beauty, but because of the person we saw in her. Her vulnerability. The need to protect her. A male instinct, I suppose. Perhaps, like Cinderella, she is merely a creature of the imagination, someone we think must have existed somewhere, at some time. But still a memory we treasure like a family heirloom. We lost track of you for a little while. But we never forgot. Hope you are happy and well.

I fell in love with Nancy when I was 10 or 11 years old. I saw her picture in the Chicago Tribune's Movie section. I'm not sure if I ever saw another Asian face until that time. I was Happily Hooked. From there I was destined to go to Asia. I've been to HK, Thailand, Viet-Nam, Cambodia, Philippines, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and on and on. I speak Thai, and believe in reincarnation. I’ve since found out that I had a relative who was in China in the middle 1920’s. He was a Military advisor to his friend Chang Hsueh-liang. You might know that name as a hero of both Taiwan and PRC. It turns out both of us have lived a similar life in and out of the Military. He was a General in Marshal Chang Tso-lin’s Army the father of his friend who he met in College in the States. I'm 61 right now, and I'd marry her today. I've always liked older women, ha. I wish there was a way to send her my picture, as I am a S.A.G. actor and model.

Dear Nancy, Seems a bit strange to be e-mailing you in 2007, nearly 40 years since I first saw you in Suzie Wong, but I was searching in Google and some pictures of you popped up. What can I say?...I consider you one of my favorite actresses of all time. You had a look, style, and attitude that was irresistable to me ( and every young man ). Aside from your breathtaking beauty, you were a terrific actress; able to be very genuine and heartfelt on screen. Your movie roles never fail to bring out strong emotions in me, something that is pretty rare, becuase I'm really not the star-struck, emotional fan type. I probably have seen World Of Suzie Wong & Flower Drum Song 50 times. So let me just thank you for all the wonderful movies you made. No Asian actress, to this day, has ever matched the amazing beauty, charm, talent, and humor that you had. I'm sure you still have it going on now too.

I've been watching Flower Drum Song lately, and wanting to get back to Susie Wong, since it has been a while. In the commentaries and interviews on the Flower Drum Song DVD, Nancy stated she was tryng to get in touch with Miyoshi Umeki, and found it difficult. In reading the NY Times on line today, it listed that Miyoshi Umeki recently passed away in Licking, MO at age 78 from cancer. Nice write-up about her career. Death reported by her son, Michael Hood, also of Licking, MO. Wanted to be sure than Nancy and other Miyoshi fans who come to this site are aware.

Hello Ms. Kwan; I have known about "The World of Suzie Wong" and Nancy Kwan since 1960, when my much older brother raved about this gorgeous Chinese girl he had just seen at the movies. Just last week I saw Suzie Wong for the first time, on DVD. What a great first movie for virgin actress, for goodness' sake ! And you still look fabulous-- must be due to healthy living and Pearl Cream ? By the way, my dad knew William Holden back in 1937 in drama classes at Pasadena Junior College; his name was Bill Beedle then. When Hollywood came calling, he left school and dad never saw him again (except in the movies). Regards, Daniel Olson in San Francisco

You taught me to reach beyond my limitations.To tell you a little bit about myself. I am a man born with a birth defect known as Spina bifida. I am an advocate for the disabled and an International published poet with close to 900 publications world wide. I am also a Guinness & ripley's world record holder for the longest non stop wheelie in a wheelchair, covering a total distance of 6.178 miles. The reason for my world record, was to help raise money for wheelchair ramps in my community. Now, just this past Oct. I was given an offer to carry the torch for the 2006 Asian games. I was in total shock when I heard that I was the only one from the United states to be given such an offer. I guess it just goes to show, that where their are disabilities, there are abilities as well. Although I am disabled, my life has truly been blessed. My only real wish in life is to use my own accomplishments to help others to reach beyond their limitations. Above, you will find my mailing address.Well I must be going now. I look foward to hearing from you. P.S. Please take a moment to check out my website. There you will find some of my poetry as well. http://wheelierecord.tripod.com Bless You, Robert M. Hensel

I saw this the first time in the 60's on TV. I have had a crush on Suzie ever since. Not because of the topic f the movie, but because of the beauty. The way Nancy portrayed the character had an innocence and strength of a survivor. The characters beauty and grace were all about Nancy. The character’s personality was contrived and acted out by Nancy. It was after all a movie. I have never seen Suzie as a hooker. I saw her as an unfortunate young girl, trying to survive. It was and still is a cruel world for some to live in. I guess in some ways she was always a symbol of hope. I hope Nancy Kwan is well. As much as I would like to, I know I will never meet or talk to her. I wish her the best for all her life. The small part she shared with me through her artistic efforts will always be with me and I thank her for it.

First of all I'd like to thank you so much for everything you contributed the film arts. I saw the world of Suzie Wong when I was 14 years old and it was wonderful watching you portray a woman who had a heart of gold but caught in circumstances she could not control. I loved that film so very much and I watch it all the time on VHS. Be Very Blessed Jakki

I was thrilled to find this site! When I was a very young child, my favorite movie was Flower Drum Song. I loved the movie so much that my parents bought me the soundtrack album as my very first record. I could also stay up past bed time to watch the movie when it was on TV. They loved to hear me sing along with every song (except, I think, I Enjoy Being a Girl!). The parade scene with you singing "Grant Avenue" was my favorite. Thank you for giving me such wonderful childhood memories to cherish.

It is nice of you to allow people who enjoy your films to say a few words. With that in mind I wanted to mention that Flower Drum Song looks simply wonderful on it's Special Edition DVD. Hopefully most of your fans are aware of the fact. The colors and sets are quite incredible to see in their orignal widescreen format. And of course the musical numbers never sounded better. I have yet to go over the Special Features - thank you for participating and I'm sure your comments will be insightful. Lastly,I would like to ask, have you managed to see the film on this dvd yet? Wondering what your thoughts on it are. Take care!

This film opened my eyes and heart at a young age. I realize that it is just a motion picture but for the 1960's an ice breaker of understanding. Glad you were part of my cultural education.

You are so lovely! I was a child touring HK with my mom when I came across a magazine that had you on the cover. I still remember it had a black glossy background and only a half-body shot of you in profile and the title "The World of Suzie Wong". (This makes me wonder now, as I found out only today that the movie was released in 1960, but I remember very well that I saw that magazine when I was around 7 years old already - 1967. Had it been re-released then?) I dunno why I kept that magazine for many years (it got ruined in a flood, sadly), but I never forgot about it... and last night,I was finally able to watch that movie over cable. I loved you in it. I'm glad I found this site, I've been showing your pictures to my kids and my friends. They all agree with me... you are really lovely to look at, and you look lovelier through the years.

There is a fabulous collection of songs from Flower Drum Song performed by Andre Kostelanetz' orchestra circa 1959. Kostelanetz had already established himself as perhaps THE leading conductor for the tunes of Richard Rogers. But this album is a smash hit, capturing the many subtle flavors of the soooo charming Flower Drum Song. The compilation is sadly unavailable on CD, but I recently had my LP transferred to a CD. Nancy, if you don't have this, you MUST have it. I have an extra one reserved for you...where to send? A few years ago I attended the screening of Flower Drum Song at the San Francisco Castro Theatre attended by you & James. It was just so special to see you there - your star as bright as ever! The energy in that theatre (standing room only!) was just incredible & I will never forget it!! So how can we follow your current public appearances? Is there any plan to celebrate the release of the Flower Drum Song DVD next month?

I fall in love with Hong Kong of the 1950's, with the musical score, and with the idea of Suzy Wong and Robert Lomax. I compose music for a hobby. (It's not my main occupation.)

He flicked the light; She said “Good night”, Then I heard William Holden say, “Suzy Wong, you’re all right,”

Dear Nancy, Yesterday, on television, I watched the film "Lt. Robin Crusoe USN". Although the film got a poor review in my newspaper, I decided to watch it because you were in the cast. As it happened, the review was completely wrong, (as they usually are), and it was enyoable, easy-going family entertainment.I was impressed with your role Nancy, as a nymph of tropical paradise, how young and beautiful you were, and what a contrast this light comic role made with the heavy, tear-jerking tragedy of Suzie Wong. I was particularly impressed with a comic mime sequence you performed in the film, it really showed the depth of empathy and expression you naturally possess as an actress - let know one tell you that you are not a first-class naturally talented actress.

Dear Nancy Kwan, My favorite movie of you is 'Flower Drum Song.' I've seen that movie in San Francicso Chinatown in the 1960's when I was a little girl. It has glamour and style. You were great in 'World of Susie Wong.' I'm wondering...is 'Susie Wong' a true story? Is it based on a real person. I'm sure there are lots of 'Susie Wong' stories out there. Where can a little girl turn to, if she has no parents to protect and take good care of her? I'm a Chinese American who grew up in the 1960's living in Chinatown San Francisco and understands the struggles of living in America while being a Chinese American. It's like living in two worlds. Thank you for 2 great films. Are you still working as an actress? If so, what are the most recent films called? Best Regards, Betty

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching "The World of Suzie Wong" again on UK terrestial television, and as ever it was a beguiling and bewitching experience. Forty-six years have come and gone since its initial release, so unfortunately 1960, is in the cusp of living memory for most of us, but this just adds to the bewitching quality of the film.The poverty-stricken, shabby Hong Kong portrayed is but a distant memory, covered over with futuristic towers of steel and glass, the Hollywood of the golden age of the '50s with its melodramas and matinee idols is gone too... to be replaced with rubbishy "action films". William Holden is as Robert Lomax, a type of hero never seen these days, handsome, matur and the stong silent type, and not forgetting the elfin Eurasian beauty of Nancy herself, such a great performance and such confidence for one so young - we can see why Ray Stark gave the part to the unknown Nancy straight out of ballet school. Like adream with every year that passes the film seems to be more other-worldly and remote, I remember the first time I saw it, on television, in the mid-'70s, the film looked almost modern, now it belongs to an age as remote asthe 1920s. It is also disconcerting to see a film that captured the popular imagination so much in the '60s and which became iconic and vernacular to relegated without ceremony to a slow "filler" slot on television. That said, "The World of Suzie Wong", is one of the very few films ever to make me cry, (for deeply personal reasons), and its effect on other romantic, sensitive souls can be gauged from the comments to be read here. One final question, I just wonder how much is the character of Lomax is autobiographically based on Richard Mason (the writer), himself and how much of his deep knowledge of Hong Kong and the "bar-girl" scene, based on his own experiences? Many thanks Nancy for a great film and letting me to post my few words here.

My Chinese wife, Moi Yin, and I just love your movie "The World of Suzie Wong". It's amazing that this film was shot three years before I was even born. As I myself am a white American married to a Chinese woman, I find that Nancy Kwan holds a special place in our hearts! My wife and I love any movie that shows good bonding between Chinese and Americans such as Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai" movies. "The World of Suzie Wong," "The Flower Drum Song", and "The Bruce Lee Movie" all have this critical element that we duly appreciate! I must say that you still look very Mei Lee (Beautiful) and the next time you and your family pass through Bakersfield feel free to drop by our house for some original Chinese Cooking or perhaps you can stop in and say hello at the next Bakersfield Chinese American Society event.

Dear Ms. Kwan, I am having a very hard time at this moment. I think I've only spoken with you on the phone once or twice. I just tried to find a way to write to Bernie on the internet and I realize that I can not... I'm so sorry, and maybe I should not even send my thoughts these many years later, but I just don't know what else to do. Bernie was one of the most wonderful people I have ever met. I want to tell you how much I cared for him, and how sorry I am that we lost touch after becoming friends in Wilmington NC - after he came to stay at my parents' home in Chapel Hill so many, many years ago. I was in love with Bernie at that time, but I had not recovered from another difficult relationship. We were both so young and I was so afraid. The time I spent with Bernie was magical. He was the one fine person I met before I gave up on working in the film industry. I realized that there simply were not enough people like him in that business to make it a place where I could happily spend my life. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance... The last time we spoke on the phone, Bernie was living in the desert. I thought he sounded very happy, even if things were not perfect with you guys. And I thought, at the time, that he didn't need me to bother him. I didn't want to make things any more difficult or complicated for him. I don't know why I felt like I needed to write to him now, and I can't believe that he is gone. Bernie was a wonderful friend, if for much too short a time. But to be honest, I never felt like time or distance would separate us. Despite not talking with him for so many years, I realize that I have continued to carry Bernie deep in my heart. I don't know what else to say. Bernie changed my life. He gave me a lightness of spirit. He gave me the Tao. He gave me the greatest of gifts. I love him, and I always will. Thank you for bringing him into my life. Terry (Marcellin) Little

NANCY I wanted to thank you for taking the time to come lecture at our Asian American Studies class at the University of California Santa Barbara in September 2001. One of the students who had dinner with us that evening graduated number one at UCSB last year and received a full scholarship to Stanford University. Also, all of those students who met with you afterwards graduated and have moved on to graduate school or are pursuing their career goals. I like to think that you were a positive role model for them. While some may look at “The World of Suzie Wong” from a sensual point of view, what our students learned was to ignore the feminists’ attacks on your work and to look at the story that was told. “Suzie Wong” is a strong woman forced to make life style choices within the limited opportunities available to her. As we learn towards the end, she was sacrificing all for her child. I received many positive comments after your lecture. Most of my students learned from you how to separate the movie character from the real person. After all, acting is a profession and often does not parallel life. But they also learned to ignore the critics and to experience for themselves. Hope you can join us again for another lecture. And by the way, I’ve moved the boat up to San Francisco to Pier 39 so if you are in the area with your other half (I really thought he was your body guard) please join us for an afternoon of sailing.

Hong Kong is by far my FAVORITE city and after having just watched The World of Suzie Wong AGAIN, I was hoping if you would be kind enough to answer a couple of questions on your shoot locations. Hong Kong has obviously changed alot in the last 40 or so years. The population for one has more than doubled and the skyline has changed connsiderably. Besides the Star Ferry location, Aberdeen and Repulse Bay, it looked to me that the hotel was somewhere in Cenral, Suzie's home was in North Point and the panorama scenes from the rooftop looked like it ws shot somewhere up on Bowen Rd. There is a bar in Wanchai called the "Wanch" where there is a beautiful poster of you and William Holden. The owner of the bar said a fair amount of the movie was shot on Jaffe Rd near the Luk Kwok Hotel....doesn't look like it to me, but I certainly could be wrong. Well Nancy, I do very much look forward to hearing from you. Take care and am wishing you and yours all the best. Jerry Gallud

As a young boy of 13, I knew you had "it" whatever "it" was! You captured my heart and my imagination. You would become one of my fantasy women, an ideal woman in my mind. I imagine my thoughts were like millions of young boys and men, who watched you move about on the silver screen and wished they could love you but instead settled for reality and found the true love of their lives. My wish now is for you to have enjoyed life and love. Sincerely, DSC.

Long time fan,first time writing. I enjoyed The World of Suzie Wong & Flower Drum Song,even though I know they're not so politically correct anymore.An actress can only play the roles that are offered her.Ms.Kwan was excellent in her cameo in Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story. I'm interested in another project you've been involved with, the documentary on Anna May Wong ( Wong Liu Tsong ).What is the status of this film? This is a story that's needed telling for a long time.Ms.wong had to put up with too much in her life. She never received the kudos she deserved.

Dear Suzie, My name is John and in the 1960s I was in the British Royal Navy and I was serving on a naval ship in Hong Kong and I use to go to Wan Chia and also to the Lu Quok bar were I met a bar girl and she said her name was Suzie Wong. I got to know her very well and we use to go out together for some time while I was in Hong Kong, I do remeber that there was a poster in the bar which said"The World Of Suzie Wong By Richard Mason. Whe I use to ask her about Richard Mason the author she would always shy away from the conversation and change the subject. Ofcourse in the book it says that all the charactors are ficticious but I do wonder. Could this be the woman who maybe Richard Mason based his book on. I think it was and I am sure that he had some type of relationship with her. It would be great if I could get some response from you over this story. Yours truly John Jones

I have often wondered what happened to the beautiful paintings of you that was used in the movie. You are the greatest. Because of you I have many Chinese friends.

I remember seeing it when i was about 5 years old at the Strand Theater in Thompsonville Conn. However, just a few days ago, I purchased "The World of Suzie Wong" on DVD. It's magic! What more can i say? I just start to cry during some of the scenes..it's so beautiful. Especially when you put on that outfit that William Holden's Character purchased for you. You come out in that and bow to him, and say to him "No only Wan Chai girl in love"... I just wonder if they let you keep that costume.. what a treasure!!! Reminds me of "Portrait of Jennie".... the paintings by Liz Moore were outstanding... the sights of Hong Kong...it was beautiful and rustic back then. Hope one can still go back there and find some old in that city.. thank you for letting me comment. regard, Mariam F Donerian

This year we are hoping to raise �3m for the Touching Tiny Lifes Campaign for research into problems in pregnancy and premature birth. I know that this may be an impossible request for you but I am organising a very prestigious Ball with a Chinese New Year theme and we would be extremely highly honoured if you could attend this event as our special guest. The Ball takes place on Saturday 4th February 2006 at the Marriott Hotel Peterborough, UK. I would be extrremely grateful if you consider our request to attend which would give the event enormous publicity and thereby make more funds for the charity plus the fact it would be delightful to meet you and have you attend. I would like forward to hearing from you as to whether this is possible and would of course be able to provide you with 2 complimentary overnight stays at the hotel. I look forward to hearing from you. If you wish to know more about the event or the charity then please do contact me on either +44 1733 260821 or email angela@ahlb.co.uk.

Saw "Flower Drum Song" for a class of mine. Namely Asian American Literature. Thought you were fabulous in the movie. It reminded a lot of films made by Bollywood, very colourful. My teacher said that there were some protests in the United States after the release of the film. He said that second generation chinese americans found the film to be offensive. I wonder how that could be. I thought the film was not offensive in the least.

Miss Kwan: Finding this web site is an early Christmas present for me. You stole my heart in 1964 at the Pix Theatre in Hollywood when, as a youngster of 14, I saw you dance the "Kaluga" in Honeymoon Hotel. In more than 40 years I have never asked for it back. On a more serious note -- you also taught me that beauty, class and integrity come in different colors and from different places. An important lesson for a young person in the early 1960's. Finally, another "gift" you've given your fans -- staying true to yourself and your beliefs all these years. Rare indeed in your profession. I wish you happiness and joy.

Not that hong kong is your typical western ideal of beauty but, it has it's own beauty as well as the rest of SE Asia. I was blessed to have had the experience.

I am a Hong kong guy! If you like the world of suzie, you must remember the star ferry wharf, Suzie said, "CAPTAIN, WOLDEN STOLE MY MONEY" in the ferry. The star ferry wharf would be removed next year!!! Everytime when I travel by star ferry, I like walking in time tunnel! Pity guys! If you want to enjoy to walk in suzie wong time tunnel, may meet another Suzie? You should come to Hong Kong this year! Don't miss it! Bye!

I would like to know the number I can call or the site that I can look under in order for me to once again use your products. It has been awhile and my skin is not the same. I am hoping to hear from you so I will have the pleasure of using your products again and for my skin to improve once more. I also wanted to say that my favorite movie that you made is Flower Drum Song. I would really appreciate it if you let me know how I can order your products again. Sincerely yours, Gloria Padilla

Actually, all her films are favourites, so it's difficult to choose. How about adding an "all of the above" option? Hello to Miss Kwan and her webmaster. I've revived the Star for Nancy campaign on my website. It will be improved with a special page. At the moment, it's a link to your star campaign website. I suggest that all Nancy Kwan fans who have websites and blogs, link to the Nancy Kwan Star Of Hollywood campaign. Also add the campaign in your emails. So many less deserving get their stars. I am not taking that privelege and pleasure from them, but I think Nancy should have had her star a long time ago. Let's get our forums, blogs, emails, comments, websites, organized and link to this campaign now. Best regards to all. Amy

I wanted to show Flower Drum Song to my 3 girls who are active in dance, choir and popular singing (ages 14, 12 & 6). Your performance was fantastic and the movie rates in my top 10 of all time musicals. I saw the movie when I was quite young (around 10) and it was a very enjoyable production that left a positive impression on me that still survives over 30 years later! I hope the studio releases a DVD and I plan to buy the VHS for now. I hope the best of everything for you and your family!!!

How well does Nancy know the author Mason. Can anyone tell me more about Richard Mason. I just want to comment that he is such a prolific writer. Brings back nostalgic feelings of the past.

Before I say anything,I would like to wish you a Very Happy Birthday for your special day - May 19th.I know that your BD is 10 days away,but I wanted to be the 1st to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!" . BTW Nancy, would you know when the Flower Drum Song will be released on DVD? I hope it will be soon. I really can't wait to add this ***** (five star) movie to my DVD collection. This is the first big production movie that I could really truly relate to, being of Oriental ethnicity in the early 60's. FDS for me and I guess a lot of people like me (not necessarily Oriental Asian)but of other ethnic background is "a breath of of fresh air from Hollywood". During that time in the 60's I could never relate to all the european hollywood movies that they cranked out in hoards . Then one day it happened. FDS ( Flower Drum Song )came out and I was in 7th heaven. I finally had a role model (James Shigeta)to compare and shape myself into. Let me tell you after viewing FDS it really was a Breath of Fresh Air into my soul. Nancy I hope you have the Best Birthday you ever have in 2005, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY !!!!!. Good Health-TNChiba

I read many of the comments here,some are nice, some naive and some are unadvertedly rude, but all of them full of praise. Nancy should feel really good about it.

I am a big fan of Nancy and saw most of her films and think she is a great actress. I always enjoyed the role she played in The Wrecking Crew with Sharon Tate. They have a great fight scene in which if I am correct Sharon actually knocks Nancy out a total of three times. In one scene she sneaks up on Sharon and gets a good punch to the side of her stomach and knocks her down and delivers a few kicks before Sharon gets up and kicks and punches her out. Later Nancy is seen trying to clear her head and get up but Sharon sees her and as Nancy is groggy and trying to get up Sharon times a great kick and knocks her out again. I wish Nancy would have won naturally but it was a great fight scene. I think she is great!

My next exposure to your films was in '77 or '78 when, as a young Marine I saw The World Of Susie Wong on network TV. The first chance that I got to go to Hong Kong later in '78, I of course had to search for my own vision of Susie, only to be disappointed at the reality!

I have placed the following request in this open forum as there seems no way to contact the website's webmaster directly. I am acting on behalf of the production designer Syd Cain, who designed the sets for 'The World of Suzie Wong'. In this film, the artist portrayed by William Holden is working on a portrait of Suzie. Mr Cain (now in his 87th year) owns this original and beautiful painting and wishes to sell it. There is the posibility he may wish to place it in a CHRISTIE'S auction. However, he wondered if Ms Kwan may be interested in purchasing the painting herself. Should this be the case, perhaps one of her representatives could contact me at the email address listed in this message. A photograph of the painting can be emailed on request.

[Feel free to edit the message as needed] I have just finished watching The World of Suzie Wong. Being an 18-year-old student and a first generation Asian-American, I felt a chasm between cultural depictionsbsince then until now. For a thesis paper during high school, I wrote on the depiction of Asian and Asian-Americans in cinema and the struggle to gain acceptance beyond archetypes. Seeing this film a year after finishing that paper, I have realized much more. This movie, along with the cariactures drawn from troops in Asian nations, have done so much to allow people to accept a very surface perception of Asian women. I feel I understand the perspective of the American population from generation to generation much more clearly. I just wanted to commend your work as an actress and the early contributions you made to the Asian cinematic community. I felt you should be aware that my generation appreciates your contributions, too. ~M. Pham

It is tough to pick a favorite film of a favorite actress. I have always admired you in all films.

Miss Nancy, I remember you in the movies years ago when I was a kid, and always think of you as gorgeous. A few comments on the Suzie Wong movie. If it would have been me as the William Holden character, the paint and artwork would have been tossed in a corner about one minute after meeting you, and the other girls in the bar could have provided room service. Because I love you. I always wondered what in "the world of living above a bar" took him so long. Oh yeah I forgot, he went there to innocently paint away, hmmm. William Holden made a better cowboy than an artist anyway. I also remember you in a Hawaii Five O and Kung Fu episode. And I also remember you in the McMasters. Hugs and kisses. Sincerely, Love James

Ms. Kwan I have watched your work over the years I'm a big fan you are truly a legendary actress. And I hope you are in good health and spirits. It's unfortunate that the only time we as a society pay homage to those who have given or made great contributions is when they are are no longer with us. your beauty and grace has transcended time,you are an inspiration to millions. I live in Seattle,Wa, when will you be in the states, if ever. I hope I get to bow before you someday, you are truly a legend. I have collected all your films and recently discovered your web site hoping that it brings me closer to you. Heres hoping God keeps you well, love ya Mark

Hi Ms. Kwan! I have always admired your work, especially since it respresents the Asian-American community; not only that, but mixed individuals aren't always recognized as such, as you have been. I'm half Chinese and half Caucasian-- and although I don't plan to pursue a career in the acting field, I still greatly admire you. :)

Ms Kwan My father, Ronald recently recounted stories to me of how Hong Kong and partically how the landscpe of Ho Man Tin has changed since he was a teenager. Anyway, he mentioned how area used to be large full of mansion houses and he would visit your house next door to watch tv and to have afternoon tea and getting driven by your chauffeur when on dates with your sister :), wow, wish that happened these days. I found that especially entertaining, anyway, was curious to find out a little about you and to see if you remembered your neighbours from 12A.

Dear Ms Kwan I represent a theatrical production company in Australia and with our home base now in Singapore. We are currently begining negotiations to present a new production of the original version of Flower Drum Song for late 2006 early 2007. I could not find a reord of an agent for you in IMDbpro except for this link. The question - would you be interested in doing the role of Madale Liang for this production. It will commence in Singapore and then tour to Australia (where the show has never been seen) and then to Moscow and St Petersberg (where they have never seen a fully staged traditional Broadway musical) and possibly to London. I should also mention that Flower Drum is my own very favourite R&H and an all Asian production should give it the exposure it deserves in this part of the world at least.

Been a big fan since I first saw "The World of Suzie Wong" when it was first released. I can still remember the trailer that was the add for the film. I was at the theater to see something else and the previews detailed this new hot movie "The World of Suzie Wong" with screen legend William Holden and "NEW SCREEN SENSATION" Nancy Kwan. What an impression it made on a 10 year old boy who loved movies that involved action and adventure. It was the first mature themed movie I wanted to see. When it was released I was there when the theater opened. I now own 3 copies, a VHS, a Lazer Disk, and a DVD. LOVE THE MOVIE AND WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Now I am trying to collect all your films. Trully, you are one of the most exquisitly beautiful women to ever grace the earth and I have felt that way since I was 10. Thanks for all the wonderful film work you have given us.

Hey Nancy,I really love your films. The one that I loved the most was The Flower Drum Song. This film, everytime I watched it, gave me a since of a positive identity,since , the 60's living amongst an all European society. Things are changing here, in good old Toronto Ontario Canada. It is very multicultural now and there is a very strong Asian population here! I would just like to mention that I had a girl friend back in the late 60's and early 70's named Lily Quan. She was very beautiful(physically and spirtually) as you are. I lost contact with her but everytime I view one of your movies brings me back to the time I had with Lily Quan.Wow! she was very hot too!! Thanks Nancy for your films and Thanks Lily, where ever you are?

I'm currently stationed in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. "The World of Suzie Wong" has always been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it as a 12-year old on Okinawa. At 12, I thought she was one of the most beautiful women I ever saw. I was in the PX the other day and saw the movie available on DVD and purchased it. I've watched it twice in the last three days. She is still one of the most beautiful women in the world. If it's at all possible to receive an autographed photo, it would be appreciated very much by this old soldier.

Dear Nancy Kwan : THE WORLD OF SUZIE WONG has always been one of my all-time favorite films. I saw it again a few nights ago and was more impressed than ever. Your performance as Suzie is extraordinary. My question is : in a biography of the film director David Lean (I'm a director myself), Lean mentions visiting SUZIE WONG author Richard Mason in Hong Kong and meeting the real Suzie (according to Lean, her name actually was Suzie, although her surname wasn't Wong). I've learned that Mason died not long ago. Do you know, by any chance, what happened to Suzie? Thank you for your incandescent performance in this unforgettable film. Best Wishes Always : Max Reagan

Dear Nancy, I was glad to find yourwebsite. It gave me a chance to catch up with what you have been doing over the years. When you had your premiere for Flower Drum Song in LA in the 60's, my parents both attended as result of getting tickets from one of my father's students who had an association with Ross Hunter. I still have the picture from the newspaper where my mother is in a cheongsam getting your autograph for me. I cut out whatever pictures I could from the newspaper associated with the movie and put into my scrapbook. A few years later, we had moved from LA to live in Taiwan for two years. While there, a mutual relative of ours, Dato Loke Wan Tho was killed in a plane crash.(My mother is the connection on your father's side.) We met at his memorial service in Hong Kong. Even tho' I was a young child at the time, I remember thinking why can't the press leave her alone and allow her to pay her respects to a family member. Over the years, whenever I see your name pop up for a movie, I smile knowing that you are successful at what you are doing. I'm envious because I had thought at one time that I wanted to pursue acting for a career and maybe being related however distantly was a bit of the inspiration. I'm glad to see that you and Mr. Shigeta are doing something together---Love Letters on 10/16/04. I always thought that you and Mr. Shigeta made a cute couple. The two of you are role models to Asian actors who succeed in Western films without compromising their talents. Do you ever answer these emails or comments personally? Your distant relative, Laura

I was with my father Victor Mamak, a banker who wrote a beauty column in the South China Morning Post. He was giving you some advice about make-up and your career.

Hi, Nancy....i just recently had the pleasure of seeing you for the first time while watching "FLOWER DRUM SONG" and thought you were great in everything you did on screen. I enjoyed this movie and also found some scenes very touching like actress Reiko Sato's scene " LOVE LOOK AWAY". I thought Ms. Reiko Sato was also a very talented woman and was sad to learn that she passed away in 1981 at the age of only 49. Do you know exactly why or how she passed away and if she has any relatives...i tried to see publicity photos of her , but was unsuccesful finding any. Wish i had the opportunity to tell her or a member of her family that i enjoyed her role as Helen Chao and that she was probably underated as an actress/performer.Thank you so much and best wishes to you always.

The World of Suzie Wong has totally won me over - I must have watched it a dozen times in the last month. You are one of the most beautiful women I have seen, and the message of The World of Suzie Wong is very much to my generation - I was in college in the early 60's and to me this has very much a civil rights message - trying to understand the thinking of another race and a person with a whole different background from us in America. I hope to find more of your movies as well. Thank you and I wish you continued success in whatever you do. Ken

Dear Nancy, I am currently writing a book about the late actor, Dennis Price, with whom you worked in the film Tamahine. I was wondering whether you would be interested in assisting me by commenting on what Dennis was like to work with, what he was like as a person and any general memories you might care to share about Dennis and Tamahine. I would like to reassure you of a couple of points. I see my book (which is in its early stages) as very much an appreciation of Dennis' career and eclectic working life, rather than a lurid expose of his private life. Even though Mr Price had died before I was even born, I do regard myself as a fan and I think it's therefore rather a shame that Price's career has not been afforded the same coverage as many of his peers. Hopefully my book will redress that injustice. I have already spoken to a number of his former co-stars and friends and would really appreciate your help. I know that your time is extremely precious and fully booked but your help would be a tremendous boost to my work in progress. I am a published author currently under contract with Toronto-based publishing house, Guernica Editions, and I'm sure they would be delighted to furnish you with any references you might need to reassure you of my probity and credibility.

Dear Ms Kwan, I had often noted that my favorite movie was "The World of Suzy Wong". I saw this as a young person and it was the first movie that I saw more than once. I just purchased the DVD and am stunned at how beautiful you were (and are) in the flick, and adorable. In today's world of computer enhancement special effects (which I enjoy), your movie is still the best. It may not be "politically correct" but, probably depicts the world as it was in that era.

I'm 45 years old and a film buff, but I'd never paid much attention to THE WORLD OF SUZIE WONG before. Well, I rented the DVD on the day it came out and now I am obsessed with that movie and Nancy Kwan. I recently read the Richard Mason novel upon which it was based. I see that an LP of the soundtrack score is currently on eBay and I think I'll have to bid on that, even though I no longer have a turntable, and I'd love to find an original poster from the movie. I'm very disappointed now that the DVD didn't include more, such as the theatrical trailer -- which luckily we can view here -- or a commentary by Miss Kwan. What a missed opportunity. Maybe a letter to Paramount Home Video could get an eventual special edition. Now, I wish FLOWER DRUM SONG would come to DVD. I look forward to watching more of Miss Kwan's movies and hope she does another soon.

Then I typed in "Nancy Kwan" and bingo, up you popped. What a cool site. I remember my mild crush I had after seeing Suzie Wong in 1961 (age 14) . My major crush was Hayley Mills. But to prove my point, I'll share with you, and the other world wide wongs, a few passages from my personal diary I kept as a teenager. *********************************************** April 22, 1961 - Danny and I walked over to the West Drive Inn and saw "The World Of Suzie Wong", and "The Facts Of Life". We didn't get much out of the first run of S.W. & F.O.L., But the last showing of S.W. we saw. We sat on the ground in the front row by the middle speaker. We got home at 2 o'clock and got to sleep about 3. Suzie Wong was real good. April 24, 1961 - Bought book from drug store. It was "Suzie Wong". Read 49 pages of it. It really snowed. Fair. That book is nasty. April 25, 1961- Keith, Dennis, and I went to the show with J.D. We saw "As The Sea Rages (poor) & Cry For Happy (good). The Suzie Wong book is getting real good on page 78. April 26, 1961 - Mom and I went to laundromat. A magazine there had section of "The World of Suzie Wong". I swiped it and filed it under "movies". ************************************** Other than that, I remember buying the RCA Soundtrack to the movie, for the artwork on the cover as well as the music. Since that time I have always fantazied about going to Hong Kong and walking down some narrow street and finding the Nam Hok Hotel, only to become totaly entertained and entranced by long legs, short skirts, and wicked mambos. As Tommy Edwards said it in his vocal version of the The World Of Suzie Wong "Almond eyes take yo by surprise, and your in love with Suzie Wong." Even if your name never get's imprinted in the sidewalks of Los Angeles, your image will forever be inscribed on the hearts of countless American boys. Thanks for the memories, Nancy. Merle.

I know you are quite busy but I am an aspiring Asian american actress, I have been trying very hard to locate the "The World of Susie Wong script." Do you know where I could find it ? My theatre teacher wants to produce it on our theatre. He looked in L.A. but found it was not being printed. I fell in love Susie Wong, and want our theatre to know of her beautiful spirit. Please email me if you know a way I can find it. Thank you for reading this. Peace, Porsche

Dear Ms Kwan, I have yet to see the movie "The World of Suzie Wong". I am still recovering from reading Richard Mason's excellent book. I didn't know it existed until I saw it in a book shop at Hong Kong airport recently. You can imagine my surprise on reading it as I discovered the similarities between it and my experiences over the last 2 years that I have been working in Hong Kong. I met my own Suzie Wong in Hong Kong 2 years ago. Apart from the fact that Jini has never had TB or stabbed anyone with scissors recently, the rest is scarily similar. Oh yes and instead of a painter we have an IT consultant. We are getting married next year. I have not been to Macao but after having read Richards book I think it might be an option! It has been an amazing last 2 years not the least of which has been meeting the future in-laws in mainland China. Hong Kong has defintely changed my life ... for the better.

Hi Nancy I am very glad to visit your web site and have a chance leaving message to you. As a 20 years something new generation of Hong Kong, I would like to express my honest appreciation to you leaving such kind of your memory, history of Hong Kong and even documentation of my home town. When I was young in teenage, there is nobody in Hong Kong willing to tell upcoming about their past in HK, besides the story in mainland and the invansion of Japanese during World War 2. I only can heard some side history of many HK people, for example Kenny town and Wan Chai are the famous "red light" area. Maybe that's why my parent never bring me there when i was kid, and also they never explain to me until now. My father is a refugee from mainland i don't know he is rich or not or even how to live in HK when he is young. My father is a traditional Chinese who never tell people his bad past. After watching the film "The world of Susie Wong", I think I got some important parts to constitute something of my parent's past, HK past and Chinese past which extactly can not be gained from text book, especially HK one. Finally, I would like to reiterate my appreciation to you, all the staffs in the film and also the writer of "The world of Susie Wong". I would also invite everybody who want to know about past Chinese, even nowaday Chinese or the past of HK to watch this film - " The world of Suise Wong" Best wishes

I work with a lovely young Korean girl, and the other day I was talking to a co-worker about how I find Asian women quite delicate and lovely. I remarked that I remembered the actress, Nancy Kwan, a doll of a lady, Eurasian, and how she affected me as a young man, because I could hardly believe any woman could be as beautiful as Nancy Kwan. Anyway after discussing this, I got on Google, did a quick search, and found Nancy's web site. I looked through the bio, and scanned the gallery, and memories flooded back from seeing Nancy in all those wonderful film musicals, and I just wanted to say, thank you so much for sharing. I (and my father too by the way) always felt that Nancy Kwan was one of the most beautiful and sublime women that ever graced the 20th century. Always a Fan, Bradley.

Hello and belated best wishes for your birthday Nancy. I have just discovered your web site, so please forgive the delay. I saw the World of Suzie Wong for the first time in 1961. It struck a chord with me as spent two years in Hong Kong from Sept1954 to Dec 1956,and fell in love with my very own Suzie Wong, Her Name was Annie Yok Ling. Sadly I left her behind when I came back to UK,and still regret not marrying her, But I have never forgotten her and still love her. Thank you for being a constant reminder of her. I am trying to buy a DVD copy of Suzie Wong which will play in region two. I am now writing a book of my time in Hong Kong. Annie is the femail lead. Nancy Long life and good health to you. T.C.

As we all know that Nancy Kwan Ka Shen was born on 19 May 1939 in Hong Kong. That means Nancy will turn 65 two days later. Will she appear in Hong Kong that day? Personally, I am excited with her upcoming birthday. Can anyone on the Nancy-Kwan.com tell me that what will Nancy do on 19 May? And which country or place is she living now? Will there be any media coverage, or Nancy celebrates her birthday quietly?

Like all of your fans, I really like The World of Suzie Wong, and hopefully someday, I will be able to see all of your other movies. I've seen "Suzie" many times, and each time is like the first time. I think you are a terrific actress and person, and very beautiful as well. Have you had any Sherry Flips lately? ha ha. I also like the late William Holden in that movie. He seems like he was a cool guy. I wish he was still with us today. If you ever have plans of visiting the Rapid City, South Dakota area (there's so many nice places to see, and the weather is nice this time of year) it would be my pleasure to meet you in person and say hello!

I was resting in my room where I stay when in El Paso TX. When I seen the the title of the 'World of Suzie Wong' coming on the channel. For being in my mid 40's, you would of thought that I would have seen this film before. In this age of grabby titles, I thought this would be a movie of the lost art. However I became in gulffed in the story. I found myself wipping my eyes on my shirt at the end of the show. I will watch this movie again, and look for others with Nancy Kwan in them. I've looked through many of the comments on your well keeped site and concure with many of them. I guess the commnent that I carried away from the film is when Suzie Wong said, I will stay until you tell me to leave, and Robert said, "that long".

Hello, It's very nice to see Suzie Wong (Nancy Kwan) on the Web again, as I read an article on South China Morning Post last Sunday and it provided the Web site. So I today spend more than one hour to take a closer look at the site. Regarding my favourite movie starred by Nancy Kwan, I can only say it would be "The World of Suzie Wong" because I watched it several years ago when I studied in university. Afterwards, I will try my best to watch Nancy's other movies. Most importantly, I have an important question to ask: As I remember Nancy was born in 1939, so this year she will be 65 years old. Can anyone close to Nancy tell me whether there will be big birthday celebrations for her, Or Nancy will appear in which country or place? By the way, I really want to know his exact birthday, can anyone tell me about that. Eventually, I would like to say "I fell in love with Suzie Wong (Nancy Kwan)" when I watched the classic movie some years ago.

I was in junior high school when Nancy's photo appeared on the cover of "Life" in 1960. Naturally, I thumbed through the magazine to find out more about this beautiful lady. That's when my 'crush' on Nancy Kwan began. It was a number of years later when I saw "The World of Suzie Wong". What a story! I would, occasionally, catch Nancy on TV in other films, but, not nearly often enough. Now, all these years later, and Nancy is still a stunning sight to see. So beautiful. I don't know what she's on, but, I want some of whatever it is. It has worked so well for her. What I want to know is, what are the chances of seeing her on TV or in another movie any time soon? Does she get a chance to read these comments? If so, Nancy....thanks for brightening this guy's life. By the way, I still have that 'crush'.

Granted that I've been a fan of Nancy's since I was very young, Flower Drum Song is my favorite film of hers. I still have yet to see "Susie Wong", but I did see Nancy as a surprise in recent episodes of ER in that last couple of years as Ming-Na's character's mother! I'm hoping that through Nancy's fans, and those of the other great actors in the Flower Drum Song film we can all voice a very loud opinion to get this movie to DVD. It is the only Rodgers & Hammerstein musical not represented on DVD, would sound wonderful remixed to 5.1 or decent Dolby Digital, plus a remastered widescreen print, with stories & interviews, etc. So looking forward to this happening, even for a 45th anniversary edition in 2006.

Also, you were so adorable in World of Suzie Wong...I used to get so emotional watching your charactar climbing up the hill to her child. It is unfortunate that there are people who have stereotyped that charactar. The essence of the story of Suzie Wong is actually very prevelant to many women who are single Moms in this day and age.

From The World of Suzy Wong to Dragon (the most recent film that I've seen) she has never been less that absolutely stunning, not to mention that she has always been a fine actress. I'm so happy to finally find a website that celebrates her. Thank you!

I want to say thank you to Nancy Kwan. I truly like all your movies and television roles I've seen you in. You've always been a favorite actress of mine. I have to admit I thought you were absolutely fantastic in Flower Drum Song. You can really sing and dance and I love musicals and to me, you made the movie. I never get tired of watching Flower Drum Song over and over again. I loved the choreography. I strongly admire you. You also have a good looking son. Thank you again for your gift.

I don't know why there was only ONE SPACE for favorite film. Both "The Flower Drum Song" and "The World Of Suzzie Wong" are equally good and BOTH are my favorites. What I would like to know is, with all the crap they put on DVD every week, how come "The Flower Drum Song" is not out on DVD or VHS and "The World Of Suzzie Wong" is only available in VHS. I have been a theatre projectionist for 35 years and can tell you that not only is "Flower Drum Song" Nancy Kwan's best role to date, I couldn't imagine anyone else being able to dance, sing and handle the comedy so well. All I can say is that it was a once in a lifetime picture in which when they cast Miss Kwan, they cast a once in a lifetime beauty. Truly, A Hundred Million Miracles.

I just want to say that I was born 1 year after the Flower Drum Song was made. I did not see the movie until I was in my early teens. This movie of an all Chinese cast still is incrediable to me to this day. Nancy Kwan, I wanted to be her, beautiful, talented, smart, and sexy, being a little Chinese girl growing up in a blonde haired blued eyed world, Nancy Kwans roles were liberating for me, I can't even really explain it properly, but she made being Chinese when I was an outcast....oh I don't know, she was like a dream as a little girl....maybe some of you know what I mean? Anyway, I have admired her since as an inspiration.

I hope you get your star on the Walk of Fame, you truly deserve it. You were like a pioneer for Asian actors and actresses. I saw a great movie by Wong Kar Wai called "In the Mood for Love" with Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. It was so classy and filmed in a very old fashioned and romantic sort of way. The time period of the film was in Hong Kong in the 60's. I think you would have been great in a role like that(Maggie Cheung's) had you had the opportunity. But it was efforts like yours that make opportunities happen for future actors and actresses. I watched your Tai Chi video and noticed you were friends with Sybil Danning. I have heard rumors she is starting an official website now. Thanks for your contributions and I am going to make a special effort to find the movie you starred in with William Holden.

Dear Ms Kwan My name is Stephen Vagg. I am a student at the Australian Film Television Radio School. I am currently doing an honours thesis on the films and career of the Australian actor Rod Taylor. I was wondering if I could interview you about your experiences of working with Rod. In particular, I am interested in asking questions to do with the filming of ‘Fate is the Hunter’ . I am happy to do the interview in any way that is convenient – over the phone, through an exchange of letters, or via email. I could also do the interview in person – although based in Sydney I plan to travel overseas for the purpose of this assignment later on this year. Being a student, my financial resources are limited and I would be unable to pay for your time. However I would be happy to pay for all postage and cost of phone calls. This is a project that I am very passionate about and I hope you can assist me. I promise I will take up as little time as possible.

Forgive me but I assumed you were just another beautiful actress. I had no idea you were so talented. What a silly Gwailo I am.

While she was type cast as an Asian I was never unaware that her beauty revealed both her origins. I wish it had been and still was possible that she could be accepted for what she is: a vividly attractive, enormously talented woman whose appearance presages a world where race is no longer a part of the human equation.

She was by far the most beautiful asian actress of our time. As she nears 65 years of age I know she still is a very beautiful woman.

Love the website you have set up to this gorgeous actress and the detail taken to write her biography. I have been lucky enough to meet Nancy several years ago. Her brother Ke, who you mention several times here, lives in Melbourne- Australia with his Aussie wife, who is my second cousin and their family of 3 boys. Nancy came to visit Ke for Christmas some years ago and a party was held in his home which I had the great privledge of being invited to. She was every bit as beautiful and gracious as she appears on screen and with not one bit of 'Hollywood' attitude about her at all. A totally 'class' act, who spent the evening handing out food and being a perfect hostess.She was funny and vibrant and generous with her time with everyone there that night. I had always loved her work in Suzie Wong and had been thrilled many years after first seeing it to learn that i had a family connection to her. So it was a rare and very special treat to meet and talk with her.

When I was a young girl growing up in San Jose, CA in the late sixties, I saw both "The World of Suzie Wong" and "The Flower Drum Song". Ms.Kwan captured my youthful attention: I wanted to dance like her, sing like her, bewitch like her, look like her... I wanted to BE her. As an adult I learned how my own culture had, after World War II in particular, infilterated other countries & cultures with our particular beauty standards. I read of Asian women having their eyes operated on to look more "western" and I remember thinking how very sad it was that beauty was being so narrowly defined. I am an American of Scots- Irish descent, but when I was 10 I wanted nothing so much as to have that beautiful raven hair and delicate beauty I saw in Ms.Kwan. She is one of my earliset memories of someone from another country that I admired & aspired to be like.

I have been a fan of Nancy's since I fell in love with Flower Drum Song. I began collecting an extensive scrapebook over the years and was very fortunate on my fifth wedding anniversary back in 1979 to meet Nancy and have her autograph my scrapebook. My favorite movies besides Flower Drum Song, are Suzie Wong, Lt. Robin Cruosoe, & Tamahine. Nancy is a blend of Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood. I especially love her comedy movies. I am one of the luckiest fans because I have had the opportunity to meet her in the last couple of years on different occassions. On our last encounter, it was a rare opportunity at the Bing Theatre in L.A. and to see Flower Drum Song on wide screen and to sit and see the movie with the audience was the most powerful feeling that we both felt with the audience appaulding after each song and laughing at the punch lines. I have been atteempting to work with the L.A. Chinese museum to donate my Nancy Kwan scrapbook. Nancy has given the world a rare gift of entertainment but with a sense of culture awareness and highly deserves a Star in the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

I love the Flower Drum Song. In my opinion it is an extrememly good film, in fact Hollywood at it's best, and in no way reflects poorly on Asians. On the contrary, it shows that we are all human and that people have to change with change. The movie shows that no matter where we come from we all deal with the same issues of career, marriage, etc. Please bring Flower Drum Song out on DVD in American. Thanks

I was a high school senior when I saw "Lt. Robin Crusoe, USN," so I was a teenager when I first saw photos and movies of Nancy Kwan. At that age (typical of most boys in the 60s) I was awestruck by her beauty and "class." I'm 54 now and still think she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I will not say she's the prettiest "Asian," or "Oriental," or "Chinese" women, but the most beautiful WOMAN I've seen. And, especially since I'm older and hopefully more respectful to everyone, I know how trite and unoriginal it is for me to comment on her lovliness. It's more befitting for me to also say how talented she is. My opinion doesn't matter; just look at the movies she's been in and the raves she gets.

We still see that 1960 series on one of the cable station here and frankly I still love that show just for the opening sequence. I would love to contact her by e-mail for she is the ultimate "star" in my book. What else can this 77year old admirer say. Hope you are well Nancy and happy.

I fell in love with Nancy Kwan when I saw her in Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Flower Drum Song", and although she was dubbed in the film she fit that role like a glove. On the strength of that performance I eagely purchased "The World of Suzie Wong" and again it confirmed, at least for me what a beautiful and talented woman she is. This is a great site! Although you are no longer as visible as you were in the '60s you are NOT forgotten Nancy. Your performances live on!

I recently went to see the preview of the new Broadway revival of Flower Drum Song. The show is very well done and the cast is excellent. I was interested to see how they would produce "I Enjoy Being A Girl",which I have always considered to be Nancy's exclusive performance in terms of talent and sensuality. It was a really good attempt,but even though so many years have gone by,there is truly no one who can reproduce Ms. Kwan is this number. First of all,the legs have it,and hers are simply like no ather!

Hi Nancy, I saw my first film with you in it 1978 when I was 16yrs-it was Flower Drum Song & I was mesmerized by your beauty,charm,singing, & dancing ability. The movie was repeated on TV multiple times & I enjoyed it just as much each time. It was,nt till years later that I saw th World of Susie Wong which I found out about just prior to traveling to Hong Kong-I loved it just as much but give Flower Drum a slight edge in #1. It made my trip to HK even more enjoyable. I imagined you when riding back & forth on the Star ferry between Kowloon & Wanchai. I hope you will be at this years Dragonfest-will you? I'd love to be able to meet you & possibly get a autographed photo. I have to admit during my adolescence I had a strong crush on you, & I usually do not develop crushes on TV or movie stars, but your powerful presence is overwhelming(in a good way).

AT LONG LAST I saw The World of Suzie Wong at my school library today. You just have to see it to believe it. It is a shame that it takes an outsider (Hollywood) to capture the exotic beauty of the old-time Hong Kong. (With Love Is a Many-splendored Thing as the forerunner) I have never seen Hong Kong photographed in the flattering yet realistic light. Nancy Kwan ignites the screen with such charm and grace which Asian actresses seriously lack today. All through the film I smile whenever I see her. I love her chemistry with William Holden..yet another favorite of mine...Hong Kong is blessed to be immortalized by this exquisite romance.

I remember watching the World of Suzie Wong when I was 15 years old. I have to admit that I mainly watched it for her, but since I purchased it, I liked how the whole story came together. I was quite surprised they made a movie like that in 1960, as I did not think North American society would have accepted it back then (Asian actors & subject). William Holden was great in it! Well, anyways. I have been a big fan of hers since, and I used to try to see as many of her movies as possible. The wonders of the internet have made it possible in answering all my questions. This is a great site, and I wish all the best in the future. Let me express my deepest sympathy regarding the passing of her son....I was shocked! What does she think of the Asian stars of today? sincerely, Samuel Amodeo

I heard the name of Suzie Wong for long but saw the fim just last night. I was very touched by the film. I found in some literature many Asian Americans hated the stereotypes created by the film. But my focus was not there.

However, if you visit www.vsom.com you can purchase "The Main Attraction" (widescreen), "Wonder Women" and "The Pacific Connection" (with Spanish sub-titles). "Walking the Edge" is back in print from Anchor Bay (www.anchorbayentertainment.com)in widescreen VHS and DVD. If you visit e-bay.com or half.com you may be able to find used copies of "Blade In Hong Kong," "The Corrupt Ones", "TheMcMasters," "Project: Kill" or "Fowl Play". [The latter two were released by Paragon Video in the 1980s.] "Project: Kill" is currently available in a Leslie Nielsen 2-pack video. I purchased "LT Robin Crusoe, USN" from a seller on e-bay.com.

Nancy has long been a favorite of mine, and I feel it's a real shame that so many of her movies are hard to find on video, much less on DVD. Just try to find a copy of "Tamahine" or "The McMasters" sometime. Good luck! Anyway, what with those fabulous zygomatic bones and kittenish smile, Nancy has long been, for me, the quintessence of pulchritudinous muliebrity. I'd love to see her more visible for North American viewers today, and only hope that that proposed TV movie/ series gets off the ground. Anyway, guys, keep up the great work. Oh, one quibble. You say that Nancy was "the first Asian actress to succeed in Western cinema." But shouldn't we give that honor to Ms. Anna May Wong, who was very popular here in the '30s and was outstanding in the Marlene Dietrich movie "Shanghai Express"? Just a thought.

Actually, I'm surprised Disney hasn't put out Robin Crusoe on DVD. I thought Nancy was just as seductive in it as Suzie Wong, but didn't know she could play great comedy (especially the charade scene)---it would have been a classic Disney for the ages if the ending was better (Wednesday and Crusoe getting together). Are there any Nancy Kwan fan clubs? I don't know the legality of it, but it would be great to see if people have tapes of some of the early stuff (Tamahine, Fate is the hunter, etc.) that is hardly seen on TV. Anyway, just wanted to say I'm a fan and have bought World of Suzie Wong, Robin Crusoe, some lobby cards, heck even Night Creature on Ebay to check out the Nancy Kwan "collection" -- but as I said any fan club information where videos can be sold/exchanged would be great or info on how to start one. Also, does Nancy Kwan have a Hollywood star? If so, where is it? And, if not, let's get one for her!
